PARTIAL PLAN LICENSEE: WORLD SERIES PRELIMINARY PRE-ON-SALE INFORMATION

There is no comparison to the proud tradition and legendary history that define the New York Yankees. Although each season is characterized by new and exciting milestones and moments, the goal remains the same - to bring a World Championship home to New York.

This year, as we march closer to October, we remember the glorious moments of past postseasons and prepare for battle in our quest for a 28th World Series title.

2011 Postseason - Preliminary Pre-On-Sales: We are happy to announce that for the 2011 postseason, in addition to two (2) Pre-On-Sales, the Yankees will continue to have two (2) Preliminary Pre-On-Sales for Ticket Licensees whose Partial Plans contains less than twenty (20) games ("Eligible Licensees") . As more particularly set forth in the Terms and Conditions, each Preliminary Pre-On-Sale is structured in a way that recognizes Eligible Licensees' seniority and the number of seats in their Partial Plans. All 2011 Eligible Licensees will be automatically entered into two (2) ONLINE ONLY random drawings to participate in the Preliminary Pre-On-Sales. Each drawing will select a number of Eligible Licensees who will participate in the applicable Preliminary Pre-On-Sale for the opportunity to purchase two (2) Tickets (subject to availability) for a potential game scheduled to be played in Yankee Stadium during the applicable potential 2011 postseason series.

As an Eligible Licensee, even if you are not selected to participate in the Preliminary Pre-On-Sales, you will be provided with the opportunity to purchase Tickets, subject to availability, to potential 2011 postseason games scheduled to be played in Yankee Stadium as part of the Pre-On-Sales scheduled to be held on or about September 21, 2011 and on or about October 12, 2011, respectively.

For the 2011 postseason, the Yankees will hold the following Preliminary Pre-On-Sales and Pre-On-Sales ONLY for 2011 Ticket Licensees who hold at least one (1) Partial Plan (i.e., Ticket Licensees with a 15-Game Plan, a 12-Game Plan and/or an 11-Game Plan in their Ticket Account):

1. On or about 10 a.m. on September 21, 2011: Preliminary Pre-On-Sale for the opportunity to purchase available Tickets to a potential game scheduled to be played during the American League Division Series ("ALDS") and/or the American League Championship Series ("ALCS");
2. On or about 3 p.m. on September 21, 2011: Pre-On-Sale for the opportunity to purchase available Tickets to a potential game scheduled to be played during the ALDS and/or the ALCS;
3. On or about 10 a.m. on October 12, 2011: Preliminary Pre-On-Sale for the opportunity to purchase available Tickets to a potential game scheduled to be played during the World Series; and
4. On or about 12 p.m. on October 12, 2011: Pre-On-Sale for the opportunity to purchase available Tickets to a potential game scheduled to be played during the World Series.

Only Eligible Licensees may participate in the aforementioned Preliminary Pre-On-Sales and Pre-On-Sales. 2011 Ticket Licensees with only Full Season, 41-Game Plans and/or 20-Game Plans in their Ticket Accounts are not eligible to participate in the Preliminary Pre-On-Sale or the Pre-On-Sale.

Both the Preliminary Pre-On-Sales and the Pre-On-Sales will be held prior to the dates on which Tickets for the applicable 2011 postseason series will be made available for purchase to the general public. Please take a moment to carefully review the terms and conditions relating to the Preliminary Pre-On-Sales and the Pre-On-Sales as they differ from prior years' pre-on-sale terms and conditions for postseason games.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and support. We look forward to sharing many more exciting and historical moments with you here at Yankee Stadium. Please do not hesitate to contact the Yankee Stadium Ticket Office at (212) YANKEES or at tickets@yankees.com should you have any questions.

 

1.  Eligibility. . All Ticket Licensees who hold a Partial Plan which contains less than twenty (20) games (i.e., a Ticket Plan covering 15 games, 12 games and/or 11 games) during the 2011 season ("Eligible Licensees") will be automatically entered into (a) two (2) random ONLINE ONLY drawings (each a "Drawing" and, collectively, the "Drawings") for an opportunity to participate in two (2) Preliminary Pre-On-Sales; and (b) two (2) Pre-On-Sales. Ticket Licensees who only hold Full Season, 41-Game Plans and/or 20-Game Plans during the 2011 season are NOT eligible to participate in the Drawings, the Preliminary Pre-On-Sales and/or the Pre-On-Sales.
2.  The Drawings. Each Drawing will be administered by MLB Advanced Media, L.P. ("MLBAM"). All determinations by MLBAM shall be final. Each Drawing will be based on a weighted system with each Eligible Licensee assigned a certain number of entries (each an "Entry" and, collectively, the "Entries") determined by multiplying: (a) the total number of years that the Eligible Licensee has continuously maintained, in good standing, the Ticket Account that includes the eligible Partial Plan ("Seniority"); by (b) the total number of seats covered by all eligible Partial Plans in the Ticket Account. Seniority will be determined as of the first year in which the Eligible Licensee started maintaining the Ticket Account that includes an eligible Partial Plan. For example, if an Eligible Licensee has continuously maintained a Ticket Account since 2002 and such Ticket Account includes a total of 4 seats covered by one or more eligible Partial Plans, then the Eligible Licensee will have a total of 40 Entries entered into the applicable Drawing (i.e., 10 years Seniority x 4 seats = 40 Entries). After all the Entries of all Eligible Licensees have been tallied, all such Entries will be placed in the applicable Drawing. Eligible Licensees whose Entries are selected in the applicable Drawing will be notified via e-mail of their selection and will be provided with a password to be used to purchase Tickets during the applicable Preliminary Pre-On-Sale (See Paragraph 5 below). Once an Eligible Licensee's Entry has been selected in the applicable Drawing, all subsequently selected Entries of such Eligible Licensee will be void and will not provide such Eligible Licensee any additional opportunities to participate in the applicable Preliminary Pre-On-Sale, the applicable Pre-On-Sale and/or purchase Tickets in excess of the Ticket Limit. While each Drawing is intended to provide more Entries to Eligible Licensees with greater Seniority and larger numbers of eligible Partial Plan seats, it is possible for an Eligible Licensee with lesser Seniority and a lesser numbers of eligible Partial Plan seats to be successfully selected in the relevant Drawing. There is no guarantee that any Eligible Licensee's Entry will be drawn in the relevant Drawing regardless of the number of Entries the Eligible Licensee may have. Eligible Licensees whose Entry or Entries are not selected in the applicable Drawing will participate in the applicable Pre-On-Sales.
